06:52 pm - Spring Fling ...

Well it is Spring Fling again this year ... I had an absolute blast ... always good to revert back to your childhood and have fun on the same types of toys again ...

They brought in a bunch of those blow-up bouncy things and all of us college students got to go out and jump on them ... slide down them ... beat each other up in them (with huge boxing gloves) ... or just work our way through a maze. There was one of them that had a small slit in the mesh so you could get into it ... but it seemed the only way to make it into that slit was to get a running start and dive in ... the first time I tried it I didn't start to tuck soon enough and wound up landing on my head and felt my neck and back compact and crack ... hurt like hell and I am sure I will be hella sore tomorrow .... oh well ...

Hung out for a couple of hours listening to music and just goofing off ... they also had a beer garden going and I am sure they weren't carding today ... since there were keg races going on as well ... I just didn't feel like alcohol ... contrary to what some people seem to think I don't feel the need to drink all the time ... but I will stop my rant before it really gets going ...

They also had those sumo suits that you get into and you waddle/run to the other person and run into them ...

Anyway the whole day was a blast and it really did help lighten the mood before finals ... gotta love them for that

10:11 pm - Eigth Level of Hell - the Malebolge

The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Eigth Level of Hell - the Malebolge!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

LevelScore
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)Very Low
Level 2 (Lustful)Very High
Level 3 (Gluttonous)High
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)High
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)Very High
Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)Moderate
Level 7 (Violent)High
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)Extreme
Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)Low

Take the Dante's Inferno Hell Test


Eigth Level of Hell - the Malebolge
------------------------------------------------------
Many and varied sinners suffer eternally in the multi-leveled Malebolge, an ampitheatre-shapped pit of despair Wholly of stone and of an iron colour: Those guilty of fraudulence and malice; the seducers and pimps, who are whipped by horned demons; the hypocrites, who struggle to walk in lead-lined cloaks; the barraters, who are ducked in boiling pitch by demons known as the Malebranche. The simonists, wedged into stone holes, and whose feet are licked by flames, kick and writhe desperately. The magicians, diviners, fortune tellers, and panderers are all here, as are the thieves. Some wallow in human excrement. Serpents writhe and wrap around men, sometimes fusing into each other. Bodies are torn apart. When you arrive, you will want to put your hands over your ears because of the lamentations of the sinners here, who are afflicted with scabs like leprosy, and lay sick on the ground, furiously scratching their skin off with their nails. Indeed, justice divine doth smite them with its hammer.

06:53 pm - Classes slowly coming to an end ...

I still have the rest of this week and next week of classes before finals ... but for my one class that I have on Tuesdays and Thursdays I gave my final presentation today. It is for the class of Organizational Behavior and basically what we have been doing all year is creating a business and figuring out how to run it. My group and I chose an adventure resort called Two Ocean Creek Resort which is located on the great divide and in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It is between the Teton National Forest and Yellowstone National Park.

My portion of it was to talk about our accomidations and our restaurant ... I had it all planned out what I was going to say but of course as soon as I get up there to speak, I froze and forgot everything ... eventually I worked my way through it and my voice only cracked like once or twice ... finally it was over with and the rest of my group finished up their portions ... it is good to have one final out of the way ... now all I have to do is go listen to a couple other groups present their businesses and write a one page reflective paper ...

It feels nice to have everything slowly coming to an end ... I am ready to go home I think ... though I have 50 million more things to complete before I do ...

10:43 am - Spanish play ...

blah ... I was roped into participating in a spanish play ... the good part is I only have one line "eh?" and I also get extra credit ... the bad part is I get to spend hours on Saturday in a cramped theatre ... why does the student theatre have to be so small?

03:54 pm

Well I got notice that I got my job today ... I am now the official manager of the Willits City Pool for the summer ... I am really excited about that ... I guess my interview was better then I thought it was. The only problem is I have to pretty much start work the day that I get back into town. Graduation here is on the 31st so I am going to be driving home the 1st and 2nd. I am supposed to come into the office on the 3rd and just start getting everything together and on the 4th and 5th I am expected to start interviewing the lifeguards I am going to be hiring for the summer ... which means looking at all their applications on the night of the 3rd ...

And that doesn't even include all the phone calls and everything I have to start making between now and then ... boy, summer hasn't even started and I am already preparing for work ... I guess I must truely believe that "Idle hands and the devil's playground" because I am not giving myself much time to relax ... it is moving from one thing, school, right into the next, work.

11:25 am - Last night was a blast ...

I got really restless being in my room so I convinced my roommate to go for a walk or just to wander with me ... on our way walking around campus we heard loud music blasting and strobe lights, so of course we went to check it out ... I had forgotten all about the foam party.

We show up and find a 50 x 50 area sectioned off full of foam ... some people that we knew were inside already and of course we wound up being dragged in as well. Mike (or Bob as we sometimes refer to him) had to make sure to wrestle us under the foam so that we were covered. It really is a weird experience to be covered completely in foam, which it is possible to breath under, but still not be able to see the air around you which you are expecting. I was minorly claustraphobic to say the least when completely covered.

It really was a blast and we spent much of the night dancing away in the foam ... every now and then we would move over to the deeper areas to get warmer (it was a cold night and being soaked made it really really cold ... the foam offered some insulation) It is definitely a different experience dancing with wet, soapy, slick people.

Here are some pictures if you want to check them out ... I am in the fourth one completely covered from head to foot and that is my roommate giggling next to me ... Most of them are pictures of the area and people I hung out with that night ... enjoy ...

Foam Party Pictures

After the party wound up going back to Bob's appartment and siping wine and playing Mario Kart ... I think I did fairly well for sucking it up on any kind of racing game and playing against someone who has many years of practice ... I think I won like 3 races ... :-p

05:04 pm - I hate interviews ...

Well I just got off a conference call for an interview for my summer job as pool manager ... It wasn't really too bad until I realized one of the people conducting the interview is actually the father of one of the other applicants ... I am more qualified and have more experience for the job but it still seems kind of pointless ... I think I interviewed pretty good but there were a couple of stumbling places ... asking questions that I wasn't sure if I should give a super personal answer to or take it back a step and give a less personal answer too ... oh well ... they said they would contact me with the outcome ...

08:03 pm - MAKE THE PIE HIGHER

I found this poem comprised of quotes by George W. Bush to be hilarious so I thought I would post it ... seeing as I have no clue what else to post in this thing ....

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER

I think we all agree, the past is over.

This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the internet
become more few?

How many hands have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.

I know that the human being
and the fish can coexist.

Families is where our nation finds hope,
where our wings take dream.

Put food on your family!

Knock down the tollbooth!

Vulcanize Society!

Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!
